Google will have to change it. The amount of negative feedback is far too much important.

Anyway I'm already working so we can build a better alternative to contribute to Google for future integration.

Latest version for the color dev kernel: preliminary support for interactive RGB sliders: choose your best color temperature.

Cool, I'll definitely flash your kernel tomorrow morning before my wife wakes up lol

Referring to a conversation I had earlier referring to the color of the battery icon when it reaches a low level. I can definitely see the difference. I'll try to screen cap it and see if it is a screen issue or an actual framework change.
[Nexus S General] jivemaster:
I wouldn't take that as 100% truth. General rule of the internet is that people are more likely to complain than agree/like something. Those that agree or like something normally never post because they don't have a problem, hence the negative bias on such a forum.

Thus forum posts will not and will never be a true or even reliable indicator of the amount of people who find something negative.

(I'm not at all saying the colour change is not an issue)

If you feel something wrong of the color (yellowish, washed out, contrast degrade) after upgraded to 2.3.3, follow the instruction below:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876132

I also bit the bullet and unlock the OEM bootloader (I don't think it will have any trouble in the following months) and flash the kernel, and I got the color it's supposed to be now (pretty close to nexus one 2.3.3).

Now winamp widget is back to dark gray and there's no more gap between darkest gray and black.

To those that say the screen looks worse now voice your opinion and vote here:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/27/nexus-s-2-3-3-update-adjusts-screens-color-temperature-we-go-e/

As of now the poll stands like this:

Screen looks good: 2872/12.7%

Screen looks horrible: 779/3.4%

Nah but I have other bugs: 367/1.6%

Everything sucks: 678/3.0%

Nexus What?: 17934/79.2%

I don't really know how to evaluate the meaning of any but the first two so I'm going to ignore them and re-do these results:

Total participants: 3651

For the Screen Change: 2872/3651 = 78.6%

Against the Screen Change: 779/3651 = 21.3%

Thats a staggering majority for people liking the screen lending a lot of credence to the idea that people on these forums just like to complain :P
[Nexus S General] mr mystery:
I like the change and will be upset if it's true that Google may push an OTA to revert the colors.
[Nexus S General] supercurio:
Based on the majority of comments to the article, a large portion of people voting or commenting Engadget's article have no idea of what they are talking about ^^
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I don't doubt that lol I just think its interesting that most people who wouldn't know the difference between a plasma TV and DLP one seem to prefer the new color range. I'm not saying that people shouldn't be able to have the choice to change it to however they like, just that it seems the yellow tint is effecting a smaller portion of users than I had thought.
[Nexus S General] gogol:
Why don't you guys make some tests? It is very easy though.

Create an image in a computer with CALIBRATED monitor that has the color below:

- Black

- White

- Gray 50%

- Blue

- Read

- Green

Really, you must use monitor that is calibrated so black will look black, red will be red, white will be white and so on.

Then load the image to your Nexus S.

Compare both!

And test using several brightness on Nexus S.

Send the report to Engadget and the world.

I will do this, but I don't have calibrated monitor.

That will give fair judgement on how good or how bad the new color scheme is.
[Nexus S General] jalyn02:
Google just needs to fix this so I can be happy with my phone again. I see there is a danger to adjusting this your self if your unexperienced. So, to the people that don't like the change and want to change it with a custom kernel be careful.
[Nexus S General] willcpfc:
I have been stock 2.3.3 for a day now and have no colour issues at all. Its quite nice being stock but I miss some CM features.
[Nexus S General] :
Fantastic mate,

It will help give people the option to have whatever warmth they wish... I must admit that an overwhelming percentile do not like the new colours, for me it doesn't make too much of a difference;) But the new colours definitely negate the SAMOLED and does not work to the SAMOLED's strengths.

now im off to write 1000 posts to make myself feel important in life;) haha

JD;)
[Nexus S General] jivemaster:
It would be good if they could have a selection of pre-made colour settings that the user could choose from.

As an office worker I'm often indoors, and because of this I often run my Nexus S at 0% brightness, as well as at home. I only ever activate auto brightness when stepping out for lunch or when going for a walk.

The tweaks made to the colour settings in 2.3.3 - while are quite good/accurate at higher brightness levels, at 0% brightness the screen is grey, white text is grey, colours are pastel like and things aren't as black as they were before.

The most painful thing however is that the new colour levels bring out the imperfections of jpg wallpaper even more than before. Now with more pronounced colours you see the jpg compression in all its ugly glory. I've since changed my wallpaper (to another honeycomb one).

It would be great under display settings if there was a toggle for 3 or so choices and users could pick what they wanted. I think that would be best solution to the issues people are having.
[Nexus S General] JamesTrab:
I made a comparison between the two display colour settings.

Could someone post the images with the right tags cause I'm a new member and I can't post external URL?

Anyway, 2.3.2 on the left, 2.3.3 on the right.

Brightness 0%.

Is someone still complaining about the update?

The super Amoled is fantastic for the pure black, but the old colours had really some problems, most of all the whites were too cold and flesh in the photos was too red. Now, in my opinion, everything is better.
[Nexus S General] mingkee:
OK, I help you out.

After I installed the Voodoo kernel and installed Voodoo control panel (found on market for the latter), The color is totally perfect (used profile 1). Smooth spectrum from white to black and NO discoloration.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
There shouldn't be any danger with using a custom kernel like Netarchy which has the voodoo color mod built in. It is just as stable as stock and it includes a sound/color patch.
[Nexus S General] jalyn02:
I read somewhere that if you raise the color too high it will burn into the screen? I would hate to be cautious, so if Google makes a app then my guess is that it would only allow us to slide it back to it's original color, not to high or not to low.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I haven't read that and it doesn't make much sense that it would be true. The issue with image burn in comes from having the same image on the screen (be it a statusbar, or an icon, or a clock, etc) for a very extended period of time. I've noticed some burn in a few times but it has always faded (and oddly enough its always been the keyboard for me).
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Agree, that's why programs like NoLed can cause pixel damage if used incorrectly.
[Nexus S General] :
I have to agree here, the main culprit in a OLED burn in is luminance degradation more in one of the RGB colours than the other, so one colour will become more prominent. And supposedly it happens quickly in OLED due to its organic composition, so we just have to accept our baby's will not always be as bright and beautiful. With a good RGB customisation app we can counteract this degradation by readdressing the balance;)

JD
[Nexus S General] supercurio:
Exactly

With my Galaxy S screen I noticed than the burn-in effect tend to increase the temperature of the colors. Red and green are less affected than blue.
[Nexus S General] krex:
Hi,

please check the pre-installed Galaxy live wallpaper. You can see, that the root of washed color problem is the wrong value of contrast and brightness.

The free Flurry live wallpaper makes it more evidence.
[Nexus S General] :
I think every phone will be different, if the balance is off with one colour we will use your forthcoming app to level it out again. So say the green lessens, we will suffer a more purple screen, which has been reported in some nexus ones over time. I think we will have to play the waiting game on this one, but I'm sure we have the logic right;)

[Nexus S General] ransome7:
The live wallpaper "Microbes" looks very washed out compared to 2.3.2 . The cloudy masses used to have a lot of color , now almost greyed out. Comparing to my wifes Vibrant using the same live wallpaper , the difference is day and night.

This is the best test so far. I liked the colors better before
[Nexus S General] mingkee:
I'd say other than yellow or purple tint, there's another problem about contrast (the range between black and white).

I flashed different kernels (2.3.2 based and 2.3.3 based Voodoo) and I found 2.3.3 also lowers the contrast, so this is a reason why the screen looks washed out (winamp widget looks pale with 2.3.3 no matter how I adjust the tint).

Google should address the problem and needs to adjust the contrast.

I remember some member said the detail looks more obvious because the low contrast.

If you have old CRT TV, you can do this experiment.

I think member "supercurio" has to add contrast adjustment on the next Voodoo kernel release.

1- cool blue white " around 20% of the total iphone has that

2- yellow white screen " the rest of the iphones "

and considering how i went more than 2 months to find one with cool blue AND no dead pixel... then all i can say is lol you are in for a surprise

[Captivate General] jwkicklighter:
I haven't seen these concerns mentioned anywhere else, so I'm sorry if it's a duplicate.

I updated to KB1 on the 24th. Yesterday & today, I have noticed unusual battery drain. The battery manager says that my screen has drained 83% of my battery (my battery total is 41%) from a 100% charge. My phone has been on for 7 1/2 hours and the display has bren on for 1 hour, 16 minutes. This just seems like an unusually high amount of drain compared to JH1. Do I need to let the battery stats reset after the update by draining the battery and charging it a few times?

Second issue... Whenever I was using my phone, the back was getting VERY toasty near the SIM and SD slots. I ejected my external SD and the heat has not returned. The same SD card has been used for several months with JH1. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

[Captivate General] byteme2008:
Can't say as I have noticed any heat but I can relate about the display using a high percentage of battery on the phone. I am also typically not showing anything else using the battery other than idle, standby, voice calls, and Wi-Fi. Now for example I am at 10 hours of use, have 62% battery left, and was using the music player for a while at work, updated and downloaded apps from the marketplace, shot some HD video and stills, sent some texts, checked some FB, did some GPS tests, etc. I don't know if 2.2 stock is just very efficient (went about 36 hours before charging and still had over 25% left this morning) and so the only thing using the battery is the display but it seems like it just isn't reporting everything to me. Maybe a few more days of use, a full drain or two, etc and it might start reporting correctly if it isn't already.
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
Battery is normal, I have noticed some heat though...even went as far as to turn my phone off for an hour today because of it.
[Captivate General] Caliesv:
I thought it was just me, but I noticed batt drain too
[Captivate General] ryude:
Yeah, I am starting to think the official 2.2 is a major flop. I had high hopes, but so far it just hasn't delivered to my expectations.
[Captivate General] jwkicklighter:
I also feel like it isn't telling me everything that is using battery. Since the update, I'm only seeing Display (always on top), wi-fi, and cell standby.

To add to the SD heat issue, the media scanner has been running for about 5 minutes now and still says that 0% has been scanned in the notification bar.
[Captivate General] byteme2008:
I can't say I have had any issues with the media scanner taking an unusual amount of time. I have over 1000 songs, about 6 full length movies, photos, music videos, etc, and I can't say it ever runs more than about 20 seconds or so.

Just plugged my phone in and didn't notice any heat, but was still only showing display, wifi, standby, voice calls, and idle. Battery life itself though is still good (at least good enough for me - 24 hours + on a single charge with moderate use). I have been stock since I bought the phone back in August.
[Captivate General] ryude:
Go into MyFiles and delete your Android folder then reboot. Sometimes the media scanner freezes due to the cache in the Android folder.
[Captivate General] ragincajun713:
I've also been having a lot of battery issues. Twice today my phone died within 2 hours of being off the charger. The first time was 1 hour and 15 minutes with sending and receiving 2 texts. The second time was 1 hour and 45 minutes, no texts. I didn't have GPS, Wifi, or Bluetooth on and didn't use the phone except for those texts. I used to get a full 14 hours + out of my phone before updating to froyo!
[Captivate General] jwkicklighter:
Is there any sort of side-effect when deleting that cache folder? The scanner also hasn't been running since a reboot so that may have been a fluke.

[Captivate General] Reamer09:
I also am experiencing terrible battery life. On jh1 with heavy use I would have to put the phone on the charger which was expected but it would be fine for the rest of the day without any problem. Now I'm having to live off of a charger. I haven't experienced heat issues but I haven't had my SD card in either.

Another issue I've been wondering about other people having is sending MMS. Before the update I done this without any problems at all, now I am very lucky to send one. I read somewhere that the MMS limit was actually smaller after the update, though I have no proof of this. I was just trying to send a couple 2-4 second audio clips that can't be larger than a few KB.

I had a Droid Incredible before this and was root doing everything under the sun with it, when I got this phone I didn't feel the need as much. This update has proved me wrong and I will be jumping on a custom ROM real quick like.
[Captivate General] jwkicklighter:
I decided to completely drain my battery. It died after 2 hours of screen use (over the day) with texting, web browsing, a check-in or two on Foursquare & Gowalla (no GPS,) and a little gaming. Display, Wi-fi, & Cell Standby were the only listed items for battery drain. I don't understand!

[EVO 4G General] bwcorvus:
So you are at the white screen that says hboot? It should be the second option on that screen saying recovery, use the volume keys to move to it, then use the power button to select it.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
you can boot into your rom and then reflash recovery, I flash mine a few times as rarely its there the first time
[EVO 4G General] eventer289:
Grab the PC36IMG.zip file from the Amon Ra thread and put it on your SD card. Boot to the bootloader, let it find the file, and update to flash the amon ra recovery. I hate clockworkmod. It's never been as consistent for me as Amon Ra.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
you wiped your boot or system partition didn't you? :)

hold volume down while turning your phone on and it should bring a menu with three android guys at the bottom, once there use the volume buttons to select recovery and then push power to select it. That will get you into the recovery where you can flash a ROM. If it doesn't let you get into the recovery from there and you still have the autoroot folder on your computer you can run the file 'FlashZip' script and tell it to flash the SprintLovers_AmonRA... file. Just put it in fastboot mode before hand by selecting fastboot instead of recovery from the hboot
[EVO 4G General] stevo760:
i did that and i just takes me to a black screen with a triangle in it
[EVO 4G General] stevo760:
you gotta help me man!!!! how do i flash just the recovery in auto root commands??????
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
It sounds like you have the old debug firmware installed, the screen with the red triangle is the stock recovery. Pushing vol up + power in it should bring up a menu although there is nothing in there that is of use except reboot.

With the triangle showing on your phone run the FlashZip script and it should reboot you in to the bootloader, once it does that hit enter when it warns you about your bootloader being unlocked and it will give a list of different PC36IMG files. You'll want to flash the one that says SprintLovers-AmonRA to make sure everything is up to date.
[EVO 4G General] stevo760:
in the triangle recovery screen no button will bring up any menu... i think im ****ed man this blows
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
what did it say when you ran the FlashZip script?
[EVO 4G General] stevo760:
i can do it in fast boot mode but as soon as i select number 1 and press enter the dos screen goes away and nothing happens
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
k, it's not working right then. Can you do me a favor and use the StartShell file then run it from there. If it fails again right click -> select all and then copy and paste it.
